Yeah, pretty sure it does, cause my Voodoo 3 would take screen shots just fine. The issue with that one tho was you lost the "22-bit" dithering as that was with a filter before the output signal to the monitor.
I can probably get clean...
So true, most games that had Glide vs. DX or OGL just look so much better on Glide to me. For example, UT99 looks way better in glide, even though it's limited to 16bit color vs. 32bit color (which the V5 can do just fine). Not sure if it is...
There is just something about the way a game look and run using Glide that just pokes all the right dopamine receptors in my brain. It has that feeling of playing on an arcade machine.
So I tried that, and it came out as garbage. I think the way the "SLI" works on the Voodoo 5 5500 with the 4xAA was giving me issues in that game with screenshots... I'd have to try again, but pretty sure it was jacked up.
I'd love too... but.... :ROFLMAO:
If you want a pic of the retro PC, I did post an updated one here...

I can also post some pics of it with the UV...
Oh, the PC is meant for and plays other (mostly Glide) games with V5 RGSS AA enabled. But.... that felt like a fun little side game to get working as well from that era... lol
Ha! So I got Quake III Arena installed and working on my voodoo 5 5500 PC, and guess what? Still an active online player base!!! Connected right into a server with players... using a Windows 98SE machine, with a video card from 2000... in...
They were the first mainstream soundcards for PCs. Basically all they did was take a Yamaha FM chip and put the components necessary to interface it with the PC on it. That worked well though because it was cheap (for the time) and you could now...
Was there something "special" about these cards? I know why some old ISA SB16's go for some decent coin for specific variations, but I know little about these AdLib cards...
Thanks!
I ended up having a bad DDR slot - so it must’ve affected performance before it finally gave up the ghost. I RMA’d the board and then sold it. Rocking an ASRock Steel Legend X670E now and it’s solid!
sk3tch Hey brotha idk if you ever solved this issue completely, but I was having the same one. Running Timespy with a 7950X3D and an ASUS ROG STRIX 4090 OC edition base clock 2610 but OCed it to just under 3GHz. Graphics scores never got above...
“The new benchmark comes in two formats: a vanilla Steel Nomad version and Steel Nomad Light, a much lighter counterpart aimed at lightweight devices with integrated graphics and smartphones. The hallmark of Steel Nomad is its rasterized-only...
Playing some Wing Commander Prophecy on the Voodoo 5 5500 with 4xAA using Glide! The good old days of gaming... 😎 Using the patch to get resolution to 1280x1024 as well, plays great. This is why I wanted a Voodoo 5 5500, for the amazing glide...
Look what gorgeous beauty came in the mail today (Voodoo 5 5500 AGP)... so far testing is going well in Windows 98SE, a very nice addition to my Retro PC. Loving the 4x RGSS AA in Glide Games who can't go above 1024x768... Glad I got this...
FYI for anyone running mb with only parallel interface, I purchased 3 of these on ebay and got them to work with sata hdd and CD. Haven't tried sata ssd yet but no reason it wouldnt work.

Proud owner of a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP finally. Snagged it for $450... normally they go for more it seems. Piece of history, hope it works... 🤣 Seller said it posted in bios just fine, so hopefully that's a good sign. Will find out in a week I guess!
